All I'm saying is that I'm not an expert and that I feel that thing could be done to conserve resource, but you on the other hand seem certain that this is the best it can get and doing anything more will be to our own detriment.

Widespread government force? Sounds like you're imagining a soldier with an automatic rifle next to everyones toilet making sure we use it properly.
I already emphasized three times that I'm not advocating for any particular solution. And I said one that would make sense an be viable, similar the example of low flow toilet which reduce the amount of water.
And even if a separate system for toilets were to be the solution (I'm not saying that should be done), you would still get the unlimited clean water everywhere else in your house. So, yes, if you drink the water from your toilet now, that solution would be reducing your access to clean water.
I mentioned this before but you never replied, how do you feel about the low flow toilet mandate, limiting the amount of water per flush? Do you flush twice every time to spite the government?

I'm not a doctor, but I wouldn't consider my toilet sterile in any sense of the word.
